Abstract

This presentation describes a method for capitalizing speech transcriptions. Several resources were used, including a lexicon, newspaper written corpora and speech transcriptions. Different approaches were tested both generative and discriminative: finite state transducers, automatically built from Language Models; and maximum entropy models. Evaluation results are presented both for written newspaper corpora and speech transcriptions of broadcast news corpora.
